Edgeport Industrial Installation Guide (90000409 Rev. C) – Page 9
For Windows NT 4.0
Because Microsoft does not support USB in NT4.0, Inside Out Networks supplies a set of USB
drivers that will be installed along with the necessary Edgeport drivers. NOTE: You must install
the drivers using an account that has administrative privileges!
To install the USB stack and Edgeport drivers:
1) Insert the “Edgeport Driver” CD version 2.80 or above into your CD-ROM drive.
2) When the welcome dialog appears, click the “Install Driver” button.
Once the driver installation program has begun, follow the on screen instructions.
3a)
If you are installing drivers for the first time
: An Information dialog informs you that the
installation was successful. After clicking “
OK
”, the installation is complete.
3b)
If you are replacing existing Edgeport drivers:
Follow the on-screen instructions. Note
that, before beginning the installation of the drivers, all applications with open ports must
be closed and all USB devices unplugged. If you close all the applications and unplug all
the USB devices, then you will not need to reboot for the new drivers to take effect
immediately. If any applications are left open or USB devices plugged in, you may
choose to abort the installation or to continue and be required to reboot before the
upgrade can take effect.
Note that because Windows NT 4.0 is
not
Plug-and-Play, you will
not
see a pop-up dialog box
indicating that new hardware has been found. You may verify correct installation with the
Edgeport Utility (see page 12) or the USB Status Utility (Viewer), as described below.
The USB Status Utility can be accessed by clicking the USB icon in your system tray or by
clicking on Start, Programs, Inside Out Networks Utilities, USB Status Utility. This utility lists all
the USB devices installed on your PC and provides other relevant information for each device.
You may also use this utility to create a log file.
For Windows 95
